Interconnected Network of Cameras

Pierre Vandergheynst, Alexandre Schmid, Yusuf Leblebici, Mahdad Hosseini Kamal, Hossein Afshari

The real-time development of multi-camera systems is a great challenge. Synchronization and large data rates of the cameras adds to the complexity of these systems as well. The complexity of such system also increases as the number of their incorporating c ...

A Micro-Uav with the Capability of Direct Georeferencing

Jan Skaloud, Martin Rehak, Romain Mabillard

This paper presents the development of a low cost UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) with the capability of direct georeferencing. The advantage of such system lies in its high maneuverability, operation flexibility as well as capability to acquire image data w ...

Drones to the Rescue!

Jan Skaloud

The use of unmanned aerial systems for civilian search-and-rescue operations or disaster management is not new. Predators drones, commonly associated with military operations, were used in the aftermath of the hurricane Katrina in the United States; rotary ...

Electronics for the camera of the First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) for ground based gamma-ray astronomy

Werner Lustermann, Mathieu Ribordy, Thomas Günther Bretz

Within the FACT project, we construct a new type of camera based on Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (G-APDs). Compared to photomultipliers, G-APDs are more robust, need a lower operation voltage and have the potential of higher photon-detection efficienc ...

A Unified Calibration Approach For Generic Cameras

The classic perspective projection is mostly used when calibrating a camera. Although this approach is fairly developed and often suitable, it is not necessarily adequate to model any camera system like fish-eyes or catadioptrics. The perspective projectio ...

Partially reflective surface antenna with dynamic beamwidth control

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Tomislav Debogovic

The dynamic control of the beamwidth of a partially reflective surface (PRS) antenna is reported for the first time. First, a design methodology is proposed by revisiting the PRS antenna theory from the perspective of its reconfigurable beamwidth operation ...

Vision-based control of near-obstacle flight

Antoine Beyeler

Lightweight micro unmanned aerial vehicles (micro-UAVs) capable of autonomous flight in natural and urban environments have a large potential for civil and commercial applications, including environmental monitoring, forest fire monitoring, homeland securi ...

Automatic Red-Eye Removal based on Sclera and Skin Tone Detection

Patrick Vandewalle, Flavien Volken, Johann Terrier

It is well-known that taking portrait photographs with a built in camera may create a red-eye effect. This effect is caused by the light entering the subject’s eye through the pupil and reflecting from the retina back to the sensor. These red eyes are prob ...

Camera Data Sheet for Pictorial Electronic Still Cameras

Sabine Süsstrunk

A data sheet is presented outlining the performance and characteristics of a Kodak DCS 200mi camera. In addition to providing information on this camera, the format and content of the data sheet could serve as a guide in the organization and display of per ...
